Canaveral Moonstone

Presidents Corner

I hope all of you are safe from the Covid19 Virus!! We have secured the Melbourne Front Street Civic Center for our September

2,2020 CMGS meeting; 7:00 to 9:00pm (access 6:30 to 9:30pm). Wearing face

covers is required, (some will be available if you forget); the seating (50 chairs) will be spaced properly and hand sanitizers will be available. No snacks to share at the break. For those that do not remember, this was our meeting location a long time ago; it is easy to find and has great parking available. Travel East from US1

onto New Haven and turn right onto Front Street. (Do not cross the bridge!) It is the first building on the East side after passing the Parking lot.

After careful deliberations our Board of Directors reluctantly decided that our next picnic will be scheduled in the Spring of 2021.

The Board will convene as a meeting of the 2021 Nominating committee in mid September, Chaired by Nancy Stark. Those interested in being considered for a leadership position next year are urged to contact Nancy (321-749-7675).

Our CMGS Parade of Gems Show & Sales will again be fully open on November 14 & 15, 2020. The Dealers will have access Friday, November 13 to set up their

displays (some that have smaller Booths will set-up Saturday morning). At this time, I do not expect any significant virus-related conditions with the exception: we have notified all of the dealers that we will not have our traditional Members &

Dealers Dinner Friday evening.

Mineral of the Month—Diamond

By Dave Jacobson

This month we will take a brief look the hardest mineral on the Mohs scale, with a reading of 10, diamond,

C, crystallized carbon. Diamond is used a gemstone and an industrially as an abrasive. As lapidaries and

faceters we are using diamond all the time. Small diamonds are also used as specimens in mineral collec-

tions. Some of the more famous localities where diamonds are found are: South Africa and several other

localities in Africa: India, Brazil, Russia, Australia and Arkansas in the United States. In the December

1998 issue of Rock & Gem magazine there was an article about diamond collecting in Crater of Diamonds

State Park, in Murfreesboro, Arkansas.

Some interesting facts follow. Diamond is a very good thermal conductor. It is 5 times better than the sec-ond best thermal conductor, silver. Diamond has the highest melting point which 3820 degrees Kelvin. Di-amond has the greatest lattice density which means the atoms are packed tighter together than in any other substance. Diamond also transmits light over a greater range of wavelengths (from ultra violet through the far infrared) than any other substance. Diamond is in the isometric crystal system. Typical habits are cubes and octahedrons. Diamond has perfect cleavage in four directions, which means, as hard as it is, if it receives a hard blow in one of these directions it can split. In a diamond each atom is at the center of a tetrahedron of four other carbon creating an ex-tremely strong framework although in one direction the structure has fewer bonds resulting in the cleavage plane. This cleavage plane repeats via symmetry to form an octahedron. Diamond comes in many colors with variations of each color including yellows, browns, grays, white, blue, black; reds, greens and color-less. Specific Gravity is 3.5. Hardness is 10. Streak is white. Diamond and graphite are both polymorphs of the element carbon. Both are carbon but have completely different forms and structure. Some interesting facts about both follow: Graphite Diamond One of the softest minerals Hardest mineral Good conductor of electricity Insulator Good lubricant Ultimate abrasive Opaque Usually transparent Hexagonal crystal system Isometric crystal system The differences between diamond and graphite are due to the atomic structure of each mineral. In graphite the atoms are closely spaced in planes with wide spacing between the adjacent planes. There is a tight bond between the planes of atoms but a weak bond between the adjacent planes. In a diamond the atoms are equally spaced. Each atom is at the center of a tetrahedron of four other carbon atoms creating an extremely strong framework. Diamond takes it’s name from the Greek adamas meaning “invincible” or “hardest”. I used the following reference materials in preparing this article: A Field Guide to Rocks And Minerals by Frederick H. Pough. Mineralogy For Amateurs by John Sinkankus. Simon & Schusters Guide to Rocks And Minerals. Gemstones Of The World by Walter Schumann. The Audubon Society Field Guide To North American Rocks And Minerals by Charles W. Chesterman.

Canaveral Mineral and Gem Society March 4, 2020 Meeting Minutes

President Don McLamb opened the meeting Wednesday, March 4th at 7:07 pm at The Unity of Melbourne Hospitality Room, 2401 North Harbor City Blvd. Don welcomed many new guests and members. He also announced that the response so far from dealers regarding the Parade of Gems was great. Don already has one quarter of the dealers signed up for this com-ing year. Don explained that the Parade of Gems is our major fundraiser for the year. Melissa Horan announced Dolly’s Picnic will be Sunday, April 19th. We need donations for Dolly’s picnic.

Rock Swap will be held March 21st at Wickham Park.

The minutes from last month was amended to add that the Treasurer’s report was read by Liz Ritter. Liz announced that we are raising money by the ongoing classes and raffles. She went over the Treasurer’s

Report including outstanding checks, expenses and incoming money. She explained that the raffles help to

pay for tuition for SFMS summer classes for a few lucky members.

Kathy Burnette announced that we have 5 new members but next month we will be cutting members that

have not paid their dues. As such, our membership will be down.

Some of our ongoing classes are: Sharon Jones and Dave Wayment will be teaching silversmithing. Scott Belinger is teaching cabbing and Gail Wall will be teaching Fused glass classes. Shannon Byrd will

be teaching wire wrap classes. If you are interested in any of these classes, please contact the teacher and

sign up.

Bill Harr told about the classes through SFMS that will be held at William Holland in Georgia and Wild

Acres in North Carolina this summer. The classes that will be taught are on the SFMS website. Every time

you sign into a CMGS monthly meeting you get an opportunity to enter the drawing for free tuition for one

of the SFMS classes. If you are one of the lucky CMGS winners, your tuition for one of the SFMS classes

will be reimbursed.

Shannon Byrd announced that if you’re not getting the Moonstone Newsletter please let her know.

Dave Jacobson spoke about the mineral of the month, Graphite, one of the softest minerals. He compared it

to diamonds, one of the hardest minerals. Graphite occurs in metamorphic rocks and is used in pencils, as

dry lubricants, electrodes and many other uses. As always Dave’s talk was informative and interesting.

Sue Diebel’s program on European Adventures was postponed since she was out sick.

Show and Tell: Scott Belinger taught a few cab classes and many of his students brought in cabs that they

made including Hannah Cason, Colin Muir, Denise Giesler, Jim Price, Susan Cash and Wayne Mellish.

Scott also displayed some of his cabs. Thanks, Scott, for the great classes and Show and Tell participation.

Lynn McKinny shared cabs and information about them that he made for a belt buckle.

Bill Harr showed and spoke about refractile. He put smokey quartz in Benzo Benzo. He also showed some

casting samples of dew on flowers.

Bench Tips by Brad Smith

Work Smarter & Be More Productive With Brad's "How To" Jewelry Books

RAISING A CABOCHON

When a cabochon sits too low in a bezel, the bezel can hide a lot of the

stone. The solution is to either sand down the bezel height or boost up

the stone. But if you choose to to raise it up, the question is what is

the best material to use ?

I was taught to use fine sawdust but now think that might be a problem

when used in rings. I reason that rings will frequently get wet, which

would cause the sawdust to swell in size and push the stone against the

bezel. Then when the sawdust dries out, the stone would be a little loose.

In any case, I now prefer to insert a flat sheet to boost up my stones.

It can be a scrap of metal or some plastic from product packaging or old

credit cards. In either case, just cut a piece to loosely fit into the

bezel and drop in the stone (with some dental floss) to check it's height.

______

TRANSPARENT CABS

When bezel setting a transparent cabochon in silver, I usually cut out

the back of the bezel to allow background light to show off the colors

and patterns in the stone. If this is not possible or appropriate, I

worry that the silver bezel will tarnish under the stone and will ruin

its brilliance. What to do?

My solution is one extra step before setting the stone. I place a piece

of thin silver Mylar plastic under the stone to act as a mirror that

will never tarnish. Mylar is readily available in craft and gift wrap

stores, or in a pinch from a party balloon supplier. You may even want

to experiment with using colored or patterned Mylar (i.e. diffraction

pattern) under some stones.

Bumblebee Jasper - what is it and is it safe?

There is a lot of confusion surrounding the bumblebee jasper, so I wanted to take a moment to clear up a few

questions about it. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. This is a beautiful stone and I

would not offer it if I thought it was going to do any harm.

First - is it toxic? The short answer is no. The longer answer ...

Bumblebee jasper does contain arsenic minerals - orpiment and realgar. However, these minerals are not toxic

unless you eat them. Minerals are elements in a crystalline form. Orpiment and realgar are arsenic sulfate

minerals. The arsenic is locked up in the crystalline structure. They are held together by covalent bonds. Co-

valent bonds are very strong because the elements are sharing electrons between the elements, as opposed to an

ionic bond, in which the elements are held together by opposite charges, sort of like a magnet. Covalent bonds

are very strong because both elements need the electrons in order to be "electrically stable". To visualize the

difference, think of diamond and coal, or graphite. Diamond is very hard, it is the hardest mineral known on

the planet. Graphite is very soft, between a 1-2 on Moh's hardness scale (the scale goes from 1-10). Both are

made of carbon. But diamond is a covalent bond and graphite is an ionic bond. Diamond is so hard because of

the covalent bonds.

So what does this mean with respect to orpiment or realgar? This covalent bond means these minerals do not

want to release the arsenic or the sulfur separately. The elements do not break apart and therefore cannot react

to their surrounding environment separately. This means that handling them, having them touching your skin

or even inhaling small amounts of them are not toxic. When you are cutting this material, because you are

physically breaking up the rock, it is possible that some small amounts can be released and ingested. It is ad-

vised that you take precautions when cutting this material with ventilation and/or a mask. Overall it will not

harm you. If you are making things that will be sold and you are worried about customer impressions of the

material, you could add a coating to the surface so they know that it is sealed and cannot release anything. Or

you can educate them on the toxicity of minerals. Here is one article that I have vetted that shows minerals

that are thought to be toxic but in fact are not (and one that really is toxic). In general, if the mineral is water

soluble AND contains toxic elements, then it can be toxic.

Second - Bumblebee Jasper is not jasper at all. It is a misnomer and is used for marketing. It in fact contains

no quartz material, which is what jasper is.

So, what is bumblebee jasper? This material comes from Indonesia. Indonesia is basically a bunch of islands

made up of volcanoes along a subduction zone between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific

Ocean is sinking under the Indian Ocean and melting (a process I would be happy to go into more if you are

interested) causes the magma to form, rise up to the surface and produce volcanoes. The volcanoes are rich in

a lot of metals. Around the openings of the volcanoes, tufa forms. Tufa is calcium carbonate (calcite) that is

precipitated from hot springs. The magma from the volcano infiltrates the tufa and the elements from the mag-

ma and the tufa combine to produce a whole host of minerals. The primary minerals are anhydrite (white cal-

cium sulfate), manganese oxide like pyrrhotite (black color) and orpiment and realgar (orange and yellow col-

or). The bands of these minerals produce the bumblebee colors.

Bumblebee jasper is relatively new to the US market, being introduced in 2015. It is popular for its colors and

patterns. It is a beautiful stone and is fun to cut. And it is one of this week's featured products at 15% off,

along with Maligano Jasper, which is also from Indonesia.

Single Piece Competition

This year we are including both beginning and advanced divisions for most of the Single Piece Competition divi-

sions. The competition is open to all club members, and will be held in conjunction with the Parade of Gems. All

work, with exception of the stone used in the Jewelry and Metal Craft division, must be the work of the entrant.

Judging will be done by Dave and Leslie Wayment following the AFMS Uniformed Rules. Each entrant will receive

an explanation sheet from the judges. Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be given. The exact due by date, and

whom to give the piece to, will be announced later. If you have any questions, call Dave at 772-532-6432.

Beading Either a bracelet, necklace or pendant, containing two or more different beading stitches. Entrant must

include with the piece a note card identifying the stitches used, the materials and beads used, and whose design it

is. Do not put any means identifying the entrant on the card.

Faceting:

A stone faceted with a Portuguese cut. Below is one example of a Portuguese cut. Any Portuguese cut may

be used. Include a note card identifying the source of the pattern if another pattern is used.

The Portuguese Cut is a popular and time honored design for larger stones. Due to its greater than normal depth it is best matched to stones of light rather than dark color saturation. While the Portuguese Cut has a large number of facets, it can be faceted using straightforward meet point technique. The high degree of symmetry and relative ease with which smaller facets can be polished make this design relatively fast to cut in larger stones. The visual effect of the Portuguese Cut is often described along the lines of "swirling light" Beginner Any Material, natural or man-made, with a finished diameter of 9-11 mm.

Advanced Any Material, natural or man-made, with a finished diameter of exactly 6 mm.
